Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

When we rushed out of the crater, it was already early morning outside, but the sky was not bright yet.

Thick dark clouds were like ink splashed across the sky, pressing down so low that they seemed to be within reach.

Deep in the clouds, pale electric snakes would occasionally slither through the dark sky, bringing a moment of light before being swallowed up by deeper darkness.

The air was filled with the dullness and depression of an impending rainstorm, and even the wind carried a sense of restlessness as if a storm was about to come.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang landed on a huge black obsidian and looked at each other.

They both saw in each other's eyes the confusion and resentment caused by the loss of the holy artifact fragment. Gu Yang opened his mouth and was about to say something -

hum!hum!

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration in the arms of both men!

They subconsciously lifted their sleeves and saw that the guiding mark left by Old Xia was becoming extremely dim.

And starting from the center point, spider-web-like cracks emerged!

"This is..." An ominous premonition arose in the hearts of both of them at the same time.

The next moment, as they watched in astonishment, the mark on the arm suddenly and completely shattered, transforming into two small balls of soft light that floated into the air.

The two light spots did not disappear. Instead, they quickly converged and merged as if attracted to each other, and finally turned into a palm-sized, glittering, illusory mirror.

The mirror surface is like the surface of a lake with a stone thrown into it, rippling circles of water.

Elder Xia's familiar voice, yet filled with an unprecedented sense of urgency, came directly from the mirror, echoing clearly in the ears of the two:

"All the fragments of the holy artifact have been seized! The alien demon army on the East China Sea front suddenly launched a general offensive. The offensive was extremely fierce. Our monks and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and our defense line was in jeopardy!

They were constantly sending out signals for help! Xiao Jian was in a state of deep retreat, trying to reach a critical level, and couldn't attack.

Now... I can only rely on you two! Return quickly! Return to the East China Sea quickly!"

The words were spoken quickly and briefly, not even giving the two people any time to ask questions.

The light mirror seemed to have exhausted all its energy. It quickly faded and dissipated, and finally became invisible.

The marks on their arms had completely disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

All the fragments of the holy artifact were taken away?!

The East China Sea battlefield broke out?!

Heavy casualties? ! !

The Sword God went into seclusion so soon?!

A series of bad news hit the two of them like a heavy hammer.

Although I had anticipated that someone might have gotten the fragments first, I didn't expect that it would be all of them!

I never expected that the situation on the East China Sea battlefield would deteriorate to such a degree in an instant!

"Elder Yan! Elder Han!" Hu Qing cried out in a low voice, with a strong sense of worry in his heart.

The two elders who had taken such great care of them were now at the forefront of the most dangerous battlefield!

"Let's go!" Gu Yang reacted very quickly. The confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by incomparable determination and anxiety. "We must go back immediately!"

The two of them no longer hesitated at all, and the spiritual power in their bodies exploded, turning into two streams of light, soaring into the sky at the fastest speed and rushing towards the east!

The strong wind whistled in my ears, and the desolate volcano under my feet was quickly left behind.

Flying at full speed, they soon saw the iconic outline of the huge treetops of Wanshu Kingdom again.

This time, the two did not slow down at all. They dived down from a high altitude, penetrated through layers of branches and leaves, and landed near the trunk of the giant tree.

When the busy elves saw the two people coming back, they did not panic or raise their weapons as they did last time, but just looked at them with curiosity and inquiry.

Obviously, the old tree had communicated something with them in advance.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang had no time to pay attention to anything else. They flashed and leaped along the branches outside the giant tree again with ease.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of the huge tree hole where the old tree lived.

Inside the tree hole, the old tree man was still sitting quietly in the wheelchair, as if he had never moved, with his eyes closed to rest.

On the bed covered with soft dry moss, Xiao Zi was still sleeping soundly with her legs spread out, a large area of ​​the pillowcase soaked with ambergris, and she was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

Seeing Xiao Zi like this, Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt helpless. Just when they were worrying about how to carry this sleeping guy on a long-distance raid,

"Cough cough..." The old tree coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes, as if awakened by their arrival.

He looked at the two people who had returned with obvious anxiety on their faces. There was no surprise in his cloudy eyes. He just asked softly and gently, "You're back? Did you find the thing...?"

Gu Yang shook his head and said very quickly: "Old Shu, we are here to say goodbye to you!

There's an emergency at home, we have to rush back to deal with it immediately!

Don't worry, we will never forget our agreement. We will definitely come back when this is over!"

The old man gently rubbed his legs which seemed a little numb, and a complex emotion flashed across his eyes. His eyes were deep, as if he had already seen through the storm they were about to face.

He didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "Okay... go ahead. Be careful... in everything."

He turned his gaze to Xiao Zi, who was soundly sleeping on the bed: "This little fellow...is it convenient for you to take him away?"

Gu Yang showed a bitter smile on his face. This was exactly where they were in trouble.

Seeing this, the old tree said no more and just raised his hand slightly.

Whoosh!

A green vine fell from the ceiling in response, and at the end was a round ball carefully woven with some flexible grass leaves and thin vines. It was about the size of a fist and exuded a faint grassy fragrance.

"This is the 'Vine Spirit Bag,'" the old tree man explained, "It contains a small space that can temporarily hold living things.

All you need to do is inject a little spiritual energy into it and stick it on the little dragon."

Gu Yang took the vine bag as he was told, injected a wisp of spiritual power into it, and then gently placed it on Xiao Zi's dorsal fin.

A wonderful scene happened!

The moment the vine bag touched Xiao Zi, it immediately expanded like a living thing.

Countless tiny vines, as if they had life, quickly and gently wrapped around Xiao Zi's body.

But in the blink of an eye, the entire dragon was perfectly wrapped inside, forming a dense vine cocoon.

What was even more surprising was that the vine cocoon began to shrink rapidly, eventually becoming only the size of a thumbnail.

Like an exquisite green ornament, it lay quietly in Gu Yang's palm. Xiao Zi also shrank simultaneously!

"When he wakes up naturally, the vine bag will break on its own. There's no need to worry," added the old tree man.

"Thank you, Old Tree!" Gu Yang was overjoyed and quickly hung the shrunken rattan bag carefully around his waist.

Time was running out, so the two men said no more and bowed deeply to the old man in the wheelchair.

Then he turned around and turned into two fast shadows, rushing out of the tree hole, heading towards the east without hesitation, increasing his speed to the extreme, and breaking through the air!

The crisis in the East China Sea cannot be delayed!
